Lwb, I am merely reflecting on the responses you said he gave. Let's look at them:

Quote:
You are done with me? What happened to you waiting until I was ready to make a choice?

I hurt you. I will be hurting the girls.

I don't deserve to be happy, don't say that to me. Its not true. I should be feeling all of this hurt.

I miss us. I miss our marriage, how it was before it got bad. I miss being your friend.


Yes, your H may be angry and upset with you, but he still recognizes he's facing the loss of a good and wonderful wife and mother of his children -- perhaps that explains his anger? You're rocking his world in a whole new way, kicking him out of his comfort zone for having been so stupid. Consciously or subconsciously, he sees that. He's addicted to cake-eating, but he doesn't want to end up with nothing or no one. And he knows, deep down, that he has it so much better with you.

I would bet he's feeling that he can longer measure up to someone like you -- someone who is so faithful, moral, with a good, warm heart and great strength of character. The jig is up and he's about to lose it all.
